Virusscanner warning supposedly from "Mozilla Firefox" On my laptop I get these fake warnings (see attachment). Every time Firefox is opened they appear. The virus scanner says there are no virussen. How do I get rid of this?

On my Windows 7 machine, I am running Firefox V115.17.0esr (64 bit). When using Task Manager yesterday, I noticed the process spNMHost.exe whose description reads "Autofill Engine host for Chromium-based web browsers", but this process is started by Firefox (and ends when Firefox closes).

What the heck is going on?

After many years I see where Thunderbird, I have been using on my Windows 10 for many years, is now available for my S23 I have been using since April 2023. I downloaded Thunderbird from S23 Play store using a USB C wire between my Windows 10 and S23 I get a popup saying "align the QR code provided from Thunderbird Desktop." I have no clue what that means so I called T-Mobile and they have or person I spoke have no clue what I should do. Someone from Mozilla should reach out to T Mobile to explain what to tell its users. What should I do to get Thunderbird on my S23, delete K9 and be happy again? Thanks

Hello, Having to change computers, I made a backup of my profile. When I wanted to restore it on the new computer, I had the unpleasant surprise of discovering that this ZIP file was unusable because it was larger than 2 MB, this limitation not being announced during the backup. My old computer having been reformatted, I can't recover anything. Is there a solution to be able to find at least the address book on this backup? Thank you for your help.

Hello

I have the Thunderbird folder from the Macbook which contains install and profiles ini files and Crash Reports, Profiles and Pending Pings.

I have made several attempts to move all the files and folders over but it doesn't matter whether I move them before I install Thunderbird or after I've installed Thunderbird and before I launch the program but every time I get invited to open a new account; I've even tried opening a new account and then moving the files.

I've searched the Forum and other websites but cannot find anyone reporting or rectifying such a problem.

What am I doing wrong?

Kind regards

Mike

I have 3 computers and I want to make sure Thunderbird is synchronized on all 3. Yes, I have checked your forums for help. Here’s my configuration:

Main PC – used daily. Thunderbird has 4 email accounts. One is IMAP, the others are POP. Backup PC – Used only occasionally. files on this computer are synchronized with the Main PC about once per month. The email accounts are the same as the main computer. Laptop – Used only occasionally. files on this computer are synchronized with the Main PC about once per month. The email accounts are the same as the main computer.

I have read articles on how to move profiles, but I have not come across one that does what I want to do. Also, I am confused about whether filters can be duplicated on more than one computer. I have seen suggestions to just use IMAP (which might work for some, but not all, accounts), but that doesn’t address how to copy filters and keep them synchronized.

Here’s what I would like to do.

Step 1: Back up Main PC Step 2: Copy Thunderbird emails and filters from that backup to the Backup PC Step 3: Copy Thunderbird emails and filters from that backup to the Laptop.

When all steps are completed, I would expect that if I open Thunderbird on either the Backup PC or the Laptop that all messages, folders, and filers would be exactly like those on the Main PC.

Is this possible? If so, what must I do to ensure everything works as I would like?

Thanks, Alan

When importing logins and notes and URL from Chrome to Firefox, why the latter doesn't bring notes and read double URLs?

All of my notes are gone and if similar URLs are doubled.

Sharing one screenshot, since I cannot share another due to privacy (until a Mozilla dev team asks for it directly without sharing it on public platform).

I just migrated my Thunderbird from my old MacBook to my new Mac Mini. I tried following the official instructions and the instructions in the linked thread, but I experienced the same problem the other users did— that Thunderbird, on the new Mac, would act as if it was setting up a new account, even after replacing the entire Thunderbird folder in the user's Library folder. With some investigation, I was able to detect how to fix the migration, though I can't tell you why Thunderbird behaves this way.

Here are the instructions I followed: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1397228]

The process of copying the old Thunderbird is correctly described. However, there is still some funny business on the receiving end.

What I determined was that Thunderbird, for whatever reason, wasn't reading the information in the profiles.ini and installs.ini in a way that launched the migrated installation. Instead, it still created a new installation and a new profile and overlaid those on top of the information in the migrated files, making the newly created profile the default and ignoring the migrated profile when launching.

In order to correct this, I needed to manually edit the profiles.ini and installs.ini file (in a simple text editor) to use the NEW installation but substituting in my MIGRATED profile for the newly created one.

I'm sorry I didn't take screen shots before deleting the files, but the important thing is to edit both files so the both are using the NEWLY CREATED installation ID but that both files only reference the OLD profile ID (deleting all other mentions of the newly created profile and deleting mentions of the old installation ID. This is just a copy/paste operation.

I've attached screenshots of mockups of what my new profiles.ini and installs.ini look like. The important thing is that both have the NEWLY CREATED installation ID (not the one copied from the old Mac) with the OLD profile ID.

Got a new my-own-build desktop and have been doing a lot of set up. Found out Outlook limited me to 10 email accounts (odd since I had more than 10 on the old machine) and so A.I. said "use Thunderbird", which I did use regularly in the 2000-early 2010s. I am setting up (adding accounts) to Thunderbird but one of the gmail accounts gave me problems--Google was causing the problem, not Thunderbird--in setup/authentication and now this account wont add to the desktop for some reason. So I went to my mobile and added the account and am now trying to export that account (through PhoneLink) to the desktop, but the desktop "Import" feature does not have a setting import the file from the phone into the desktop. File has a name 'thunderbird_settings_export_2024-12-21.k9s' and not a 'zip' file or any other thing the Import feature looks at.

I reset my PC and saved the wrong profile path, so i cant restore my thunderbird profile the normal way. However, I exported the profile to my phone and the thunderbird android app, where it is still stored. Can I export my profile from the App to then import it on the PC version? thx for your help!

I'm trying to import my passwords; what I've read says I will find Logins and Passwords in the menu represented by three bars at the top right of my foxfire sign in page. The problem is I have three dots, not three lines, and nowhere do I see Logins and Passwords, just Passwords, and there's no import data option there. Sorry if this is lame. I'm old and clueless in the world of tech. Also, thanks for any assist.

Hi, I'm having issues moving a 10 year old Thunderbird installation on a Windows 10 Pro computer to a new Windows 11 Pro PC.

I looked at all the guides & prior support messages and followed the instructions carefully. My old Windows 10 installation was in a custom directory (G:/Program Data/Thunderbird). I ensured it was updated to the most current version and closed it before moving files. I installed Thunderbird on the Windows 11 machine, went to Troubleshooting Info and found the folder that it used for the profile (when I go to profile editor, there are 2 profiles listed in the new build - I verified that I was in the directory for the default profile). I then closed Thunderbird on the new PC.

The two computers are on the same network so I moved all the files from the old location to the new location via just drag and drop. Of note, I couldn't "go up 3 levels" on the original machine's directory as per the instructions because, well, there weren't 3 higher levels of directories - I just moved the Thunderbird to Thunderbird on the new PC.

When I open Thunderbird on the new PC, it still acts like it's a new installation, except I do have my Address book. I tried deleting the second profile it had created; no different. I tried creating a new profile and specifying a directory somewhere else (eg. C:\Program Data\Thunderbird) and moving the files there - no different. I tried copying (presumably inactive) Thunderbird folders from the old computer C:\Users\~\Roaming and \Local over to a similar location on the new PC - nothing changed.

Anybody have any other ideas of what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

I would like to install Mozilla thunderbird to my new laptop. Someone else installed it on the laptop I currently use. How can I make sure the same settings are on both laptops - especially for Thunderbird?

How do I import/sync passwords from Chrome to Firefox? Chrome suggests a path using "bookmarks" that does not work. Firefox states that it can't be done. Isn't there some way of doing this, possibly by using downloaded .csv file from Chrome. michaelpaul50
